Preflight procedures
During preflight checks, it is necessary to verify data base validity (updating
of the last AIRAC cycle).
The onboard equipment must be initialized in compliance with manufacturer
procedures (refer to the ”GARMIN” G1000 Integrated Flight Deck Cockpit
Reference Guide).
In case a pre--programmed or an already stored flight plan is used, an
accurate check of the waypoints is also required.
General in--flight procedures
Before entering a B--RNAV or P--RNAV area, the pilot must make sure that
RAIM function is available.
Flight plan activation, WPT and LEG changes as well as any modification of
initialization data must be done in compliance with equipment User’s Manual.
For every navigation into areas reserved for B--RNAV or P--RNAV, the pilot
must be provided with a predicted availability of RAIM on the route, if the
constellation disposes of less than 23 satellites.
The check of navigation system information consistency must be regularly
performed during the flight :
.
when reaching each waypoint or before reaching the position report point
of the ATC,
.
before leaving a published route and then every 15 minutes during this
type of operation (function “Direct To”).
The check of position information consistency may be performed by
comparing this position with the one determined by the primary
radionavigation sources.
SID/STAR
The use of SIDs and STARs stored in GPS data base is only authorized, if the
pilot has checked that GPS procedure corresponds to the one given in the
official documentation (coordinates of various points and paths between
points).
